Luxor temple and Abu Simbul are amazing unfortunately i didnt get any decent shots when i went, but seeing the posts here bring back memories. Did particularly well with the Luxor shot to avoid the McDonalds golden arches which is visible from most of the temple
It did take a lot of effort to move Abu Simbul to higher ground but better that than lose it completely. Inside there are 4 statues of ancient gods, and once a year on a holy day (forget which) Light spills down to illuminate the statues, well three of them actually. For years archeologists/scientists thought that the ancient egyptians made a mistake in their calculations hence not illuminating all four, until someone made a breakthrough and realised that one of the statues represented the god of night and darkness and to illuminate him/her would be blasphemy.
The sad thing is that when it was moved, modern man with all our technology miscalculated and now the room is illuminated the day before the actual holy day.
